You were one of the first posters that I put an identity to due to your frequency. So yes Goat, I'd say that you COULD be considered obsessed. I think it's in a good way however as I feel that you actually bring to the community. Just my few satoshis...

Let's just chalk it off as that you're heavily inspired.

Pokédex: The jets of water it spouts from the rocket cannons on its shell can punch through thick steel.BTC: 1Pt2zKYL1CzgqoWy2gETLrqZhWTQSziVno As of July 2015, I'm back! Currently working on building trust.

I'm not that obsessive with online time, but before I knew about bitcoin I wanted to build water-cooled rigs with nice ricer PSUs and new components and a good-looking case, and then overvolt the RAM and CPU. I wanted to purchase some 9800GTs to do some folding to "cure cancer". I had my PC on 24/7 folding, etc

Now I only care about price/performance, I don't care if the PSU I buy is a bit twisted with tobacco smoke, I just care about the price. Used parts are the best thing, and I undervolt stuff to get less heat, etc. Forget about anything nVidia until kepler, and I won't even think about using any part of my PC to fold. It makes me sad

And, when I see a computer, I think how many MH/s can I get from there, at what price, then I try to calculate the power cost, and see if it's profitable. When you talk to me about dollars or any currency IRL, I will explain what Bitcoin is to you.

Im with you mate, my ROI on all my 2nd hand mining rigs is usually 2.5 months

It depends on a lot of factors. Right now for anyone paying in the $0.20 or more range for electricity, for instance, is losing money when mining at current difficulty and market exchange rate with relatively efficient hardware (e.g., 5870s). So in those instances, it doesn't matter how little you pay for hardware, it currently is not worth it to send electrons through.

Excluding FPGAs, they're still profitable, but have a 9 month or more break even, not counting electric
